Concerned that new legislation in North Carolina may leave only a single abortion clinic in the state for women “seeking out choice,” MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts put the question to Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, with a bit of what some might call euphemistic wordplay.

“How do you respond to that with such a dramatic closure of access to choice providers for women?” Roberts asked.

Pat McCrory, North Carolina’s Republican governor, signed into law updated abortion regulations for clinics in the state Monday, including a requirement that doctors have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, The New York Times reported.
